Kevin McCloskey is the author of the critically acclaimed TOON Books “Giggle and Learn” series and a retired illustration professor at Pennsylvania’s Kutztown University. His first TOON Book, We Dig Worms, was described as “a winning combination of facts and gross-out fun” by The New York Times. His wife (a librarian!) asked for a fun worm book to read at the library, so he came up with an informative and silly story that evolved into a now beloved series of five—with a sixth to come.

Featured Author: Frank Viva
A Trip to the Top of the Volcano was born after Frank returned from a trip to Mount Etna in Italy: “Just back after two weeks in Sicily,” he wrote us. “I climbed (over snow and lava) for hours partway up Mount Etna (and more hours back). We were with a vulcanologist and I learned a lot. A Trip to the Top of the Volcano with Mouse? Just a thought.” It’s a companion book to A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse, about Frank’s experiences during a trip to the Antarctic Peninsula. Besides traveling, Frank is also passionate about cooking and eating. When his friends come over, he bakes them a delicious homemade pizza with a thin, crispy crust.
